IIश्रीराम जय राम जय जय राम II

कोणाशी विचार करावा सेवटीं I
एवढ्या लाभे तूटी जाल्या तरे II
सांभाळीतो शूर आला घावडाव I
पुढे दिला पाव न करी मागे II
घात तो या नांवे येथे अंतराव I
अन्तरल्या पाय गोविंदाचे II
तुका म्हणे गडसंदीचा हा ठाव I
केला तो उपाव कार्या येतो II

"It is a rare opportunity to be born as human beings, for only they are endowed with a sense of discernment which other creations in this universe lack. In this composition Sant Tukaram Maharaj earnestly implores us not to waste this precious human birth on frivolous material pursuits, for it is the only time One can be conscious of his true purpose, the Self Realisation. He says, success is determined not by whether or not One faces obstacles, but by his reaction to them and hence One who has initiated himself on his Self Quest must inculcate forbearance and be ready to meet the hurdles and pitfalls on his way head on without a grumble.
Sant Tukaram Maharaj says, the Name Worship of GOD is the devotion to His Lotus Feet and only wholehearted devotion at His feet can dispel all troubles born of ignorance. He says, even a moment not spent in the Name Worship of GOD will be a great loss, while those moments spent in His thoughts are ever blessed. This earth is the best place to know GOD and to experience GOD, and therefore every moment of this rare human birth is an auspicious time, an opportunity to go leap and bounds to Liberation.
Summing up Sant Tukaram Maharaj says, the rare human birth has an edge over all other creation because only humans are endowed with the ability to think, reflect, probe, question and understand our True Self making it ideal to engage in the journey of Self Realisation. He says, a conscious effort in this precious human birth will certainly awaken the slumbering True Nature within us sooner or later."
